Started building aquaterrarium

Hello! Finally I started building an aquaterrarium for bombina orientalis. This thread will be updated soon, I just started today...and there is first photo

Cool what size is that? I'll be starting my 40 gal tuesday. I have three FBT right now but I intend to breed them. I have a male and 2 females and my lil guy is a horny lil toad so i cant wait till I get everything set up but I look forward to see how yours come along.

Its really nice to see people doing more elaborate setups for firebellies and not just the more expensive frogs. The are probably one of the most active frogs out there and they probably appreciate the room more than most.

[froghobbiest]

I agree. All the set ups I see that are nice are for the PDF so I want to make somethin big for my FBT

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Good luck .

Thx for all posts! Dimensions of my tank are 60x30x30 (cm), I think it´s about 20 gallons. My plans for the future are to build another larger terrarium for a bigger FBT family (current tank will be for 3 I think).

There is some of my equipment.

Can't wait to see the final unvieling!! My FBTs are so curious and seem to know when something has changed in their enclosure. Your guys are going to love their new setup!

Uf....it takes more time than I expected.

But I think it could be finished this evening/night.

...there is a photo of the cork background I made.

[froghobbiest]

Nice. I was gonna go with a cork bark background but I couldnt find any locally so I went with the expanding foam

FINISHED!
(It´s now without some water plants and one pothos, I will put them there in next few days...but...it´s finished) Now I will search for some fire-bellies. But first of all, I will go to sleep (it´s 0:49 there). Good night.

...some other photos.

This was my first terrarium project, I hope you´ll like it.

nice..is that java moss your using?

[Kurt]

Very nice.

[Quetzacoatl]

froghobbiest: That´s the terrarium moss from the picture I posted one day ago. But as I found out, it´s a mix of at least 2 different kind of moss.

woow is it really? How did you get yours to look like that? Mine has turned a lil brown so i know its not doing good but the good thing about it is it goes dormate instead of dying at least thats what I read.

Done? I think this calls for some dames and beers!

Some moss "pieces" are brown or something between brown and green, but there were pretty green ones too.
